I enjoy Whisper , and have been a frequent user of it for the past few years. Looking back, it seems as if a good portion of the connections, and friends I made originated from Whisper. I love it because it’s open, raw, and vulnerable. I’ve been able to find purpose in helping, or trying to help, other users with issues or concerns they may or may not be going through. Not to say I’m a licensed therapist, but any help is better than no help. To be trapped with no way out, seems impossible. I do think it has almost everything I’d be interested in, except perhaps better advertising (more users), because I have noticed a trend of the same users per location over the course of time. I associate Whisper very quickly and easily with “if I’m depressed, want conversation, basically anything.. I at least have a quick or instant friend or distraction, to get me through any troubling period.
I think, perhaps, maybe trying to get therapists on board, to promote it with their clients for anyone “socially awkward” might help. I noticed the new apps, I’ll look into them, but thanks for doing what you do. 👍
